"Kids..."

["Yes, Y/N. Hawk-eyes has kids..."]

"That is the same age... as Luffy..."

["...yes."]

"Who also are friends with Luffy..."

["You said that..."]

"Well, you can't blame me! This has been all a surprise to me. You'd think that he would be straightforward with this type of information but no!"

["You already said that too..."]

"Oh, shut up, Le Roux! Like you're any better!"

["We're being mad at Hawk-eyes, remember? Let's get back to that."]

You only grumbled and finally slumped face-first on your bed. Now, wearing a pajama and a large t-shirt that belongs to your brother, Thatch.

"Dad?" You thought out loud as Zoro came out of the front door of your house. (He was there for Luffy.)

"Y/N-san," he acknowledges you while you hid your surprise with a smile. 

"Hey... Isn't it late? What are you doing here?" You asked trying not to look at Mihawk.

Mihawk on the other hand is a bit malfunctioning. He was not prepared for an early closure with you about his adopted kids.

"Luffy wanted me to come over so we can play a video game. I would have gotten home earlier but I decided to wait for... my father." Zoro pointed at Mihawk and you could only swallow a huge bile of saliva caught in your throat.

"Mihawk... is your dad?" You asked and before Zoro could answer, Mihawk butted in.

"Get inside the car, Roronoa," he said with venom hidden under his tone.

Pissed? Irritated? Angry? Yes... Yes, definitely. He was planning on talking to you about it at a perfect time. Maybe tomorrow or the next day. But not today. He just got you back again today. Not even a full 24 hours with the woman he loves, he had already blown it. 

He doesn't even know why he's beating around the bush with this important subject. You have known him as a straightforward, blunt person for decades. He knows in himself that you'd be happy that he decided to adopt. Help children. Although there is still some chance of you reacting negatively and he couldn't just risk it.

Zoro followed him without any argument or any type of noise. 

"Nice to meet your son, Mihawk. Hahaha..." You tried to mask the disappointing feeling swelling up inside your chest. "How come you never said anything over dinner? Or earlier this day?" You asked with a low tone as you walked to the pillar by the front door.

"They-."

"They? Oh, right... The pink-haired girl. She was cute by the way. The pink eyes must be from the mother."

"Y/N. Zoro and Perona are-."

"This has been a wonderful evening, Mihawk. We should do it again sometime soon. Although, I think I'm going in. It was nice to catch up with you..."

You finally backed up to the door and get inside with a smile on your face. After closing the door you faced the faces of your brothers and dad. 

"Nee..."

"N/N..."

"My sweet princess..."

"It was a wonderful night..." you said as you walk towards the stairs. "It did tire me out so... I going to bed. Do NOT disturb me... please."
